Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses in children
Background: The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) constitute a group of gray matter neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of ceroid lipopigment in lysosomes in neurons and other cell types.

Case Report: Novel MFSD8 Variants in a Chinese Family With Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses 7 [PDF]
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are among the most common progressive encephalopathies of childhood. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7 (CLN7), one of the late infantile-onset NCLs, is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the MFSD8 ...

The Genetic Basis of Phenotypic Heterogeneity in the Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses [PDF]
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders that affect children and adults. They share some similar clinical features and the accumulation of autofluorescent storage material. Since the discovery of the

Age at onset and gene variants predict lifespan and disease duration in childhood neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. [PDF]
This original article is commented on by Mole on pages 156–157 of this issue. Abstract Aim To address disease progression in a cohort of patients with childhood‐onset neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), a group of genetic disorders leading to progressive dementia. Method In this retrospective study, selected clinical features (age at onset, at death,
